Nisqually Indian Tribe :: Tribal Announcements & Updates

Update to Mt. Rainier Designated Use Area

Mt. Rainier National Park just had an emergency bridge inspection on the suspension bridge used to access the Nisqually Designated Use Area. The bridge limit is now 3 tons for passenger vehicles and light trucks. Example, a F-250 is heavier than 3 tons. If you have a large vehicle, and would like to access the area please contact Chelsie Sharp in the Planning Department to assist in coordinating Day Use Visits. Click here for more information.

Attention Tribal Members! - Smart Comment

We have settled on a public hearing platform called Smart Comment. It provides a digital presence for open public engagement that can benefit the membership and presenters/managers of public hearings by centralizing and consolidating various pieces involved in a public hearing. Here the membership can review other members comments and provide comments regarding the proposals during the open commenting periods. Upon completion of the commenting period, we then review the digital comments, consolidate paper comments and the verbal comments from the hearing itself and add those to the public view with the digital comments. This is an open and public system so be mindful, courteous, and respectful. Please review the quick start to submit digital comments.
